12 Middle School Trends That Will Take You Back
Caroline Alderson

Remember the days when we wore those super comfy gaucho pants with the yellow box flip flops? Boy has style changed since then! Let's take a moment and remember our fashion trends from middle school. You may not have worn or had all of these, but I am sure you have had at least one of them.

1. Gaucho Pants

Yes, these are those rally flared out pants that felt like pajamas. If you didn't have these at some point in your life then you definitely missed out!

2. Sequin purses

Remember having one of these in every color? I do! These big sequin purses were a must to have!

3. Nike Shocks

Pretty sure your middle school crush whether it was a boy or girl had these. They came in all sorts of colors and were one of the biggest trends in the early 2000s!

4. Silly Bandz

Literally, everyone had silly bands. If you didn't buy any, you probably had gotten one from a friend. Remember when you used to trade yours for another animal or shaped one?

5. Baby Lips Lip Balm

Baby Lips Lip Balms was the number one cosmetic use from middle school girls at my school! Most definitely a must have if you are a girl!

6. Friendship Jewelry

Remember having that friendship necklace from Claire's? Or the friendship bracelet you made? These were a must have for sure!

7. Feather Trend

Nothing was cool until you went to the fair or arts festival and got that feather put in your hair. This was the most hipster trend of the middle school days for sure.

8. Any Shirt That Had A Company Name On It

Remember that Hollister shirt you wore every day to class? Oh, I do! I had them in every color, and I am sure you did too!

9. Soffe Shorts

Oh yeah! You weren't cool enough until you had a Soffe shorts that had some type of writing on the butt!

10. Butterfly Clips

Your outfit was not complete without a butterfly clip in your hair! I had about one hundred of these and wore every single one of them! I am sure you did too!

11. Yellow Box Flip Flops

Yes, I had almost every pair. These were those comfy black sole flip flops that you saw every girl and their mom wear to everything and with everything.

12. Airbrush Shirts And Hats

The best souvenir from the beach was definitely the airbrush shirt and hats! If you didn't get it as a gift, then you probably bought one at the fair or the souvenir store in your town.

Hopefully, these trends made you think of happy and somewhat embarrassing memories! Having a throwback here and there always makes it fun to remember those happy memories! Thankfully only some of those trends have come back.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
